She walks with unsteady legs
the passage of time having overtaken her
golden memories her sole companion
themselves somewhat tarnished
her soul now sundered and bare
to the chill wind of loneliness
She remembers
and knows
a peace tainted by loss
as she waits to unite
with what she has lost
hey dad
remember Grandad's funeral?
I do.
Yeah, I know I was young but
I remember everyone was so sad.
I guess I was too young to understand,
but you said one thing that stuck with me,
a gift that clung through the years
'What are you crying for? He was my Dad.'
Thanks Dad, but by the way,
I wasn't crying for myself
I was crying for you
